Trail Shields & Flooding Cups

Precision Gas Shields Engineered to Improve Plasma Arc Welding

Weld specialized metals like a pro with these precision designed, and Performance Proven™ trail shields, flooding cups, purge cups and other innovative purging devices. Each product is engineered to deliver a coherent umbrella of shielding gas for the most demanding Plasma(PAW) welding of reactive metals such as titanium, molybdenum, nickel-based and aluminum based alloys as well as non-reactive metals like stainless steel. These devices provide an inert atmosphere for increased weld-quality, consistency and reduced gas consumption, while minimizing post-weld cleanup.

Designed to work with the industry's most common machine or manual gas tungsten arc welding torches, these devices optimize distribution of the shielding gas, and maintain correct gas velocity ratios between the multiple gas paths. Developed for automated high-tech PAW these products are engineered to flow shield gases over a targeted area to promote sufficient cooling, prohibit exposure to oxygen, and prevent weld contamination.

Available in Auxiliary Shields (Flooding/Purge Cups) and Straight Ultimate Shields.
